What is My Life In Weeks?
A minimalist web app that visualizes your life in weeks. Each square is one week — filled boxes are those you’ve lived, and the rest are the weeks (hopefully) ahead. Inspired by Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman, it’s a simple tool to help put things into perspective.
Problem
Users struggle to visualize and appreciate the limited number of weeks in a lifetime using traditional calendars or manual tracking, leading to a lack of perspective on time management and life prioritization.
Solution
A minimalist web app that visualizes lifespan in a grid of weeks, where each square represents a week. Users input their birthdate to see filled squares (weeks lived) and empty squares (weeks remaining), fostering mindfulness of time.
Customers
Productivity enthusiasts, time-management practitioners, and individuals seeking existential clarity (demographics: 25-45 age group, professionals, students).
Unique Features
Inspired by *Four Thousand Weeks* philosophy, the grid’s stark simplicity forces introspection. No logins, ads, or distractions—pure focus on visualizing mortality.
